Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares

It’s been a busy few days for Ariana Resources (AAU), the Anglo-Turkish gold mine developer. A certain mining analyst who has the hump with Ariana, recently upgraded his assessment of the company from “Sell” to “Hold” following the news last week that Ariana had received its forestry permit approval, paving the way for the company to make the transition from exploration to producer. Within 12 months all being well, Ariana will become Turkey’s next gold producer.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
Vines once again I explain to folks like you that writers here write what they want. That means that you can have two writers disagreeing on a stock or a stack of them all filing copy at the same time (happens when companies are issuing a lot of news) all saying the same about a stock, in this case being +ve on Ariana.
The day writers here are told what to write is the day I quit

Only cloud on the horizon might be political! Otherwise Ariana is a no brainer. Decent Aim resources are hard to find, this is one. Amara is another one worth researching. I’m in both, and expect big things! DYOR

A great piece of writing with clear concise analysis of the current state of play at Ariana Resources. Its good to know how thorough your research has been, too!
Actually visiting the site and meeting folk on the ground further enhanced further the high standard of your analysis on this company. Hat tip from me for that, Andre!
If only some of the so called ‘analysts’ employed by the Nomads representing the current batch of Chinese frauds on AIM had taken such steps of performing similar standards of due diligence!!!!!!
Your piece highlights many interesting investing plus’s and I’m putting this company on my watch list.
I look forward to reading many more of your high quality company analysis.
